DC to AC / AC to DC Calculator

What is a DC to AC / AC to DC Calculator?

A DC to AC / AC to DC Calculator is a tool that helps convert power between Direct Current (DC) and Alternating Current (AC) systems, taking into account the efficiency of the conversion process.

The Formula

The formula for converting power while considering efficiency is:

\[Output Power = Input Power \times \frac{Efficiency}{100}\]

Where:

• Output Power is the resulting power after conversion (in Watts)
• Input Power is the original power before conversion (in Watts)
• Efficiency is the conversion efficiency (in percentage)

DC to AC Conversion

Converting DC to AC power is typically done using an inverter. The process involves:

1. Boosting the DC voltage to a higher level
2. Converting the DC to AC using switching circuits
3. Filtering the output to produce a clean sine wave

AC to DC Conversion

Converting AC to DC power is typically done using a rectifier. The process involves:

1. Transforming the AC voltage to the desired level
2. Rectifying the AC to pulsating DC
3. Filtering the pulsating DC to smooth it out
4. Regulating the DC voltage to maintain a steady output
